1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purpose of reviewThis review attempts to summarize the role of standard and advanced echocardiographic techniques together with CMR in the evaluation of the RV in HF, providing an outlook on the recent evidence. RECENT

findingsIn the last decade, there has been growing interest in the study of the RV, and it is now widely established that RV function is a strong predictor of mortality, in several cardiovascular diseases, in particular in the setting of heart failure (HF). The evaluation of RV function might be particularly challenging, which justifies the necessity of multi-modality imaging. The echocardiographic assessment remains the mainstay technique even though it might be complex, due to RV crescent shape and its position in the chest, requiring both qualitative and quantitative parameters. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) represents a complementary exam which is particularly useful when precise structural and functional assessment are needed, considering the most recently developed sequences. Despite the technological improvement attested over the last years, there is still no universally accepted parameter that univocally defines RV function, hence the necessity to evaluate several parameters, combining different imaging techniques.
